those days

Someday one would just have to agree that some memories,
important or absurd, are better captured in old photographs
than bear them in mind in each passing day…

…there are things that should now hide

in their special corner, somewhere, wherein one

does not need to look for them again…

…and most of all, there are those people who should now leave

whose everyday companionship and familiar conversations

would, maybe, forever remain a recollection of distant thoughts.
